[eBook] [PDF] For Queer Ear 1st Edition By Gavin Lee
Through provisional, idiosyncratic, and non-normative listening practices, Queer Ear: Remaking Music Theory counters music theory’s continuing tendencies towards rationality, unity, unilinearity, teleology, and logical certainty. In this volume, editor Gavin S.K. Lee brings together a diverse group of music theorists who issue queer challenges to both music theory and musicology and show that queerness is integral to music-theoretical practice. These investigations of the “queer ear” and queer soundings, while drawing upon a broad range of approaches, are united by the repurposing of “hard” music-theoretical apparatuses, as well as “soft” apparatuses like narratology and cultural theory, for queer ends. Such repurposings contribute to the search for general principles–or a theory–of queering that counters mainstream music theory’s proclivities, instead encouraging everyone to experiment with queer ways of listening.
